Headwaters Program Resources

TU Costa Five Rivers GuideThis packet was created for use and adaptation by colleges, universities, and Trout Unlimited chapters as a guide to forming and managing TU-affiliated college fly fishing clubs.

The Adopt‐A‐Trout Program is a place‐based educational and inspirational experience for elementary and middle school students. As part of the program, students use radio telemetry equipment to track trout in local aquatic systems and learn about the underwater life of trout. This is completed in through a multi‐faceted classroom and field‐based learning approach that engages multiple learning styles and gets kids out on the land and in our rivers and streams having fun!
